You already have US based credit so that is good. 

"Both have fields of fertile land.

Obviously tough to give advice based on minimal info and no info on your personal situation.

And a handful with 25 to 50 homes.. same thing I fund the front end of the BRRR and they refi and pay me off.My latest adventure is funding land flippers and I have two that are knocking it out of the park..

One developer I worked with built smaller homes around a central courtyard, and buyers appreciated the balance of affordability and community.In San Diego, where I’m based, density has taken a different shape...like ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) that maximize land value.

Pay the bill yourself, then reimburse yourself by charging the tenants based on a formula.

I mainly bought it for the land, do not intend to rent it out for cash flow or what not.It is currently occupied by the previous owner.

We have access to 66 acres of wooded land to build on.

I did trade in land though but they were all quick flips so not really investing more like controlling my own inventory.. 

We are looking for low maintenance (so primarily new construction or >2000 and well maintained/rennovated) single family homes.
